Warm-up-- Using one of the three articles in the handout, organize important details and information in the graphic organizer:
Review -- Interview Techniques and Practices
As a class, we recalled important interview practices:
- Identify SOAP - Prepare diligently
- Listen carefully - Utilize quotes!
Independently, each student watched an interview of his or her choice on the Big Think YouTube channel and reflected on the following questions:
* Identify the SOAP of this interview.
* What sort of questions does the interviewer ask? (Provide at least 2 examples)
* How does the use of video affect the use of quotes?
* What do you think makes this video interesting and newsworthy?
Recapped/reviewed as a class; students submitted responses.
As a class, read and discussed “In High School and Alone in a Homeless Shelter” from the New York Times. Remember, profiles are not just relegated to celebrities or scholars; they portray the personality of anyone with a story.
As a full class, we developed questions to guide interviews with fellow students, such as:
* Where were you born? What is your heritage?
* What is your family like?
* What are your hopes & dreams?
* What do you do with your free time? What are your hobbies and interests?
...etc.
In pairs designated by the instructor, students interviewed each other, identify important information, and synthesized the information into a ~150 to 200-word profile.
